News and Updates

Hello. Thank you visiting the Seth Research Project. I made a few updates that I am excited to share with you.

On February 7, 2017, I am scheduled to present on the Online Global Seth Conference. For those who can’t view the presentation live, it will be recorded and available at your convenience for six months. I hope you can attend. My topic is "Jane Roberts and Rob Butts: Their Lives and History."

You may be particularly interested in the pdf of selections from The Nature of Personal Reality. I found many differences when comparing Rob’s typed sessions with the published book. While they are not all included, I think some are significant.

Thanks to other Seth fans I have made a few corrections and updated the Session List.

One of my projects has been comparing the sessions as published in the Seth books with the session copies in the Jane Roberts Papers archived at Yale University Library. Rob often re-wrote his notes for various editing purposes as well as to keep people’s identities confidential. Most of the alterations involved changing the sentence structure, making word substitutions to avoid repetition, and grammar corrections. There were also some edits made in the Seth sessions by the publishers, and I have no way of knowing if the changes were made by the publishers or by Rob and Jane.

Below are some changes that I found interesting. Due to copyright restrictions, I have not included full sessions or multi-paragraph omissions as I believe they will be published in a separate volume in the future.

Jane Roberts was featured in the November 1970 “Inner Space, the Magazine of the Psychic and Occult,” and I have been given permission to include it on my website. Raymond Van Over, the editor, wrote the Introduction for “The Seth Material” and I have included his editorial as well. The article was co-written by Raymond and his wife, C. C. Chambers. They visited Jane and Rob in May 1970 and had a private (unpublished) session with Seth.

Seth Research Project

Seth Research Project is an independent research project started by Mary Dillman. Since 1998, Mary has been researching the Jane Roberts Papers archived at Yale University Library in New Haven Connecticut and has also spent time in Elmira, Sayre and Saratoga Springs gathering additional information. Mary has also unearthed some never-before-shared gems that she has been able to make available to the public.

How can you help my research

If you had any contact with Jane or Rob, either by phone, a personal visit or corresponded with them, I would love to hear about it. Even if you didn’t know them personally but have some information about them that you are willing to share, I am very interested. Contact me.
